Nothing wears windshield wipers down faster than accumulated winter grime.The Mud and salt leave streaks that make it hard to see. An easy remedy is to pour a bit of rubbing alcohol onto a cloth or rag and use it to clean the wiper blade edges.

The solvents in the alcohol dissolve the dirt so your blades will make a clean sweep.To prolong the wiper blades, don't tug them free from the windshield on cold mornings and don't switch them on to help scrape away the ice and frost. ( both of these tare or otherwise damage the rubber blade.

You might try 1 part vinegar to 4 parts water in a spray bottle to help break up the ice on the window. Scrape the Window. Let it clear off from the heat in the car. Park in the sun.
